    Nurse as a Patient?

    Crash_Cart replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a patient I am on the opposite end of the spectrum. I don't want nurses looking after me. I know they are busy and so I tell them I can take care of myself. That doesn't seem to matter to them...

    Crash_Cart replied to Clover123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No wonder you failed the exam. Under those circumstances I would have too. May God bless and i'm here pulling for you. If there's anyone who deserves this right now, you do.

    new LVN looking for job

    Crash_Cart replied to Guest973564's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I usually try to turn the interview around and ask them questions. For example: "Can you tell me what is the ideal job candidate you are looking for?" "What are the intended goals and objectives for...

    Using medical terminology as a nurse

    Crash_Cart replied to RCHCLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Think about it this way. If you chart the pt. has Hematuria and a regent test strip, or urinalysis result later reveals that's not actually the case, then have you made a documentation error on the...

    Using medical terminology as a nurse

    Crash_Cart replied to RCHCLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Or perhaps the pt. has been taking the medication Rifampin? I guess my entire point is you can't readily conclude it's "Hematuria" without evaluating the bigger picture of things. "Appearances" are...

    Do you have a side hustle?

    Crash_Cart replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not interested in playing the nursing education ladder game. It doesn't pay. I am a business owner and I manufacture industrial equipment. It

    On Vacation - Would You Intervene?

    Crash_Cart replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I moved people around all day long in the ER but it's done in a methodical and very controlled situation. So unless you have the required training, cervical collars, portable traction equipment,...

    Using medical terminology as a nurse

    Crash_Cart replied to RCHCLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Did a urine strip record and confirm a high presence of RBC's in the urine? I mean how do you know it's Hematuria and not something else like the beets they had for

    I guess the general takeaway here is opioids are becoming less prevalent and available for many addicts, so many are turning to crazy alternatives such as Wellbutrin, and yes even Wasp Spray. I...

    Myth or Truth: The Story Behind the Nursing Shortage

    Crash_Cart replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    No, I suppose I don't agree with everything written in the article, but it's nicely composed, constructed, very articulate and well researched. Good work.

    On Vacation - Would You Intervene?

    Crash_Cart replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Quite frankly, I don't see why any RN witnessing such an occurrence would avoid reacting to this situation due to fear of a lawsuit. The risk of lawsuit is virtually non existent and it's pretty cut...

    It's a nursing specialty, just like any other specialty. You are working with a community of cognitively impaired individuals, and therefore an understanding of their disease process is required to...

    You can't lock people in during an emergency. The door has no mechanism to immediately release the latch at the top of the door into a fully open position for evacuation. Usually it has to have some...

    Controlled med not documented

    Crash_Cart replied to Chocolate1's topic in General Nursing

    Human error or technology flaw? I am thinking there must be a way they can program the "scanner" you used to scan the med and the patient's armband, to instantly submit confirmation electronically to...

    Crash_Cart replied to lindslou14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good advice so far. Only thing I have to add is to get it done and it doesn't matter how long it takes. Remember, you can only fail something by giving
